BTW, I think that the original Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days is this copy here by Laura Lemay, though I may be mistaken. I am presently working through this book (I'm on chapter 8 at the moment) which I borrowed from the book library at my work. It was recomended to me by a regular Perl developer, and so far has been well worth the effort.

Sometimes I get the feeling that I would be better of with the Camel Book or the Llama Book, but until now I've decided to stick it out with Laura Lemay.

There are 10 kinds of people, those that understand binary, and those that don't.

I am reading the Camel book right now and so far I would highly recommend it.

Also a quick question regarding the "Learn 'em all" strategy I was wondering if it is really necessary to learn both Python and Perl? Or do you think it is good enough to just pick one and go with it? I do see a benefit in learning both C and C++ but Python and Perl seem so similar that I am finding it hard to justify in my mind learning both. Although this is from a newbie perspective of Perl and Python programming so maybe I am missing something.

Great link Negrita. Yes Don thats a good book. It teaches you how to make a computer game from ground up. Thats handy because getting people to download a game from you with a trojan wrapped is about the easiest thing to do as far as social engineering goes. If you can get them to do it and their AV doesn't catch it, you are in! Browser exploits are nice but the browser has to be vulnerable. So I encourage any serious hacker to get those programming skillz!
